CHURN.

- SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 410,949, dated September 10, 1889.

Application filed January 31, 1888. Serial No. 262,585. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be itknown that I, SOLOMON \VHITNEY, a citizen of the United States,residing at Manhattan, in the county of Riley and State of Kansas, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Ohurns for Ohurning either Milk or Oream into Butter, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to certain improvements in churns, having for its object to simplify construction and render fully effective the action of the dasher as also to utilize the churn-body in the churning operation; and to these ends the nature of the invention consists of the detailed construction and combination of the parts,as will fully appear from the following description and illustration, in which-- Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved churn. Fig. 2 is a detailed perspective View of the dasher, and Fig. 3 is a similar view of the dasher-supporting rod and the key for connecting the rod and dasher together.

In the embodiment of my invention I employ, preferably, a cylinder or churn-body A of suitable diameter and length, which is provided at one end with a shaft-extension a, bearing in one of two supports Z) Z), and to which, so as to effect the rotation of the churnbody or cylinder, is applied a crank or handle 1, A suitable covered opening is provided to the cylinder or body A to permit of access to its interior.

B is the dasher, which is provided With a tubular support orsleeve B, from which project vertically two arms or uprights B B upon the outer ends of which is secured a blade B suitably beveled at one of its 1011- gitudinal edges to advantageously affect or cut (as it were) the cream or contents of the body or cylinder. A as the latter is revolved. Through the dasher-sleeve B'is passed the rod O, which is cylindric throughout its length save at one end, being rectangular thereat, as at (Z, which rests in a corresponding slot or socket d inthe support or bearing 19'. The opposite end of the rod 0 enters and rests in a cylindric socket d in the inner end of the journal or shaft-extension a, whereby it will be seen that upon the rotation of the crank or handle 12 the churn'body or cylinder will revolve, yet the supporting-rod, with its dasher, will remain stationary. The connection between the dasher and rod is effected by means of a key or Wedge d inserted through an aperture cPin the dasher-sleeve B and into a slot d in the rod 0.

This churn is effective in the thorough conversion of the contents or cream placed therein in an expeditious manner and with the outlay of a minimum amount of labor.

Having described this invention, What I claim,and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s

The combination of the cylinder or body having at one end an extension provided with a socket, the rod having an angular end resting in a corresponding socket in the framework and its opposite end resting in the socket of the said extension, and the dasher having a sleeve or tubular portion connected to said rod, substantially as set forth.

SOLOMON WHITNEY.
